 24 to 26. 1913. 



Dry weather in Wisconsin is reported 

 to have retarded the peas. 



To get a farmer to plant peas this 

 season required some tall talk — but there 

 are plenty of tall talkers in the seed 

 trade. 



How many good crops, if we ever get 

 them, will it take to put the situation as 

 regards peas back where' it was prior to 

 three years ago? 



D. B. GuRNEY, of the Gurney Seed Co., 

 Yankton, S. D., states that his company 

 will erect greenhouses this summer and 

 do a general cut flower and plant trade 

 in the future. 



Present indications are that French 

 bulb prices will rule about the same aa 

 last year except on Eoman hyacinths and, 

 possibly, large sized f reesias, which will 

 be a little higher. 



The New York seed houses still are 

 exceedingly busy with counter trade, 

 though mail order business has run down 

 to such a point that night work no longer 

 is necessary. 



The Albert Dickinson Co., Chicago, has 

 issued a booklet, entitled "Dickinson's 

 Hand Book on Farm Seeds," that is one 

 of the most complete in- its line. It deals 

 largely with field and grass seeds. 



The historic Astor House, on lower 

 Broadway, New York, is to be closed 

 May 29, and demolished to facilitate the 

 construction .of a subway. It will not 

 seem like the old town to our Hollantl 

 friends next season, we fear. 



The death of Alexander L. Don, pro- 

 prietor of Weeber & Don, New York, is 

 recorded in this week's obituary column. 

 The business will be continued by Mr. 

 Dku's two sons, who have been in the 

 businejis with their father for a number 

 of years. 



In this column the trade frequently 

 has been cautioned that it was unwise 

 to book orders for hyacinth bulbs except 

 subject to advance in duty. And the 

 first step toward an advance in duty of 

 400 per cent has been taken, at the in- 

 stigation of the Treasury Department. 



Frank H. Cole, advertising manager 

 of Peter Henderson & Co., New York, 

 gave emphasis, in a recent address, to 

 the fact that the farm papers as a class 

 are now operated along high standard 

 lines. The seed trade is giving the 

 agricultural press a constantly increasing 

 part of the advertising appropriation, 

 and cutting down on the big general 

 magazines. 



The official printed copy of the pend- 

 ing tariff bill as it passed the House 

 May 8 does not agree in all particulars 

 witn the report of the House amend- 

 ments printed last week. The most im- 

 portant differences are that unenumer- 

 ated greenhouse stock is left at twenty- 

 five per cent instead of being included 

 with nursery stock at fifteen per cent, 

 and that there is no age limit on the 

 coniferous evergreen seedlings admitted 

 free. The trade's paragrai)h8, reprinted 

 from an official copy of the bill as it now 

 stands, are shown on page 25.
